The supply of cut flowers has in- creased since a week ago, but business continues good for the season. Roses are coming in more freely, but the ma- jority of the flowers are short-stemmed and of inferior quality. Some flowers, however, are arriving of a remarkably good grade and bring excellent prices. The best Beauties make $20 to $25 per hundred. Some fancy hybrid teas bring $8 to $12 per hundred, the stems of these being eighteen to thirty inches long. Even the smallest of the short- stemmed grades clean up nicely. Stanley is proving a fine summer rose, as well as Maryland, Double White Kil- larney and Ophelia, and some good Rus- sells are beginning to arrive. A few short-stemmed carnations appeared last week. Lilies are abundant and sales on them now drag considerably. Sweet peas are scarce and of poor quality. Gladioli continue in overwhelming supply and sell in the main at unprofit- able prices, a good many going as low as $10 per thousand. Asters are not yet at all abundant and sell well. Some fine indoor stock makes $4 to $5 per hundred and outdoor flowers bring $1 to $3 per hundred. The crops are a failure with many growers. A good deal of cosmos is seen, but it sells poorly. Among the miscellaneous flow- ers are Buddleia magnifica, hunneman- nia, Liatris pycnostachya, lupines, an- nual larkspurs and sweet sultans. Cat- tleyas are scarce, with a light demand. Asparagus plumosus and Sprengeri move slowly. Various Notes. The new salesrooms of the Waban Rose Conservatories, at 4 and 5 Winthrop square and 261 Devonshire street, opened for business August 29. The whole of Boston's wholesale cut flower industry is centralized in or about Winthrop square. The new sales- rooms are up-to-date and wonderfully light, with ceilings fifteen feet high. They are bound to be cool and com- fortable. Nothing has been left un- done to make the salesrooms convenient and
